Mafia remake was great. Really enjoyed it four years ago when it launched. Mafia II two generations ago was really good as well. Mafia III was great story/character, world, locale, music and voice acting wise but the combat/gameplay while satisfying due to the brutality of it wasn't that good, the gameplay loop of have to decrease the status of each region in order to fight the boss and advance the story, side content was mediocre at best and worst of all, the game shouldn't have been open world. It just wasn't needed. If it wasn't for the story/characters/writing, I wouldn't have made it through Mafia III.
